About this product

Product Information

Chosen by Ginsberg himself from nearly fifty years of experimental, groundbreaking verse, this selection, in his words, 'summarizes what I deem most honest, most penetrant of my writing', and includes lesser known and later works which go beyond his iconic Beat Generation image. Presented chronologically, and ranging from early works such as 'Paterson' (1949) to selections from White Shroud (1980-85) and Cosmopolitan Greetings (1986-92), and including the classic poems Howl (1955-56) and Kaddish (1959-60) as well as songs, recent uncollected poems and notes by the author, this volume brings together the most intensely personal verse of a great American poet - incandescent explorations that expand the consciousness with their breadth of vision and depth of humanity.

      The book that was originally posted had the previous owners name and postcode rubber stamped every 3 or 4 pages throughout the book, I didn't think that it merited the "very good" description and contacted them about this, next day I was informed that a replacement wouldbe sent out and I should pass on the first book to a charity shop (which has now been done), it's the first time I've had an issue with WOB but they sorted the issue very quickly, recommended seller, 5 star service.

    • One of my favourite poets

      This a great collection for fans of the Beat generation. Some of Ginsberg's earlier poems included. It is great to see how his method developed with time.
